Chapter 2
AN: Thanks to Alyssa and Sasha
AN2: Buffys thoughts in italic
Buffy and Riley finally got to the Reservation. Of course, there was a female Delta waiting for them to tell them the rules to visit the Reservation. She seemed like a robot. Probably the hynopedic conditioning, Buffy thought. "To start with, don't feed, touch or approach any of the human creatures in the Reservation. It can be very dangerous. After all, they are only savages," She said without feeling and Riley laughed. The woman ignored him and continued. "You shall follow everything the guide says. No exceptions. Any questions?" Before they could answer, the woman continued. "Perfect, now you shall be introduced to your guide" She left without anything as a goodbye and an Epsilon came. "Hi, I'm Eddy" He said in a monotonous way. "And I am your guide to the Savage Reservation".
Oh Ford, am I going to have to stand this guy all the way? Buffy started thinking and wondered if it had been a good idea to come here. No turning back. She smiled sweetly at the guide and at Riley who thought she was actually listening. Every now and then, she said, "Interesting," and the Guide would ignore her comment and go on. like a robot. Finally, after a couple of hours in the heat. without her soma, they saw people. "Oh Ford" She said aloud. "What's wrong with those people, what are they doing?" She said scared. Riley was turning white.
There was a woman breast feeding her child. Eddy again ignored them and continued. "As you can see on your right, there is a woman with her child. Yes, child. This savages have families and the M word" The M word referring to mothers. "Remember they are savages, they are not civilized, they don't even know our Ford. They believe in a thing called God" Buffy and Riley just stared at the woman in disgust and then stared blankly at Eddy when he said they didn't know Ford. They continued their visit, and Buffy was really disappointed. This was just boring.
The guide still continued with his monotonous talk. "Finally, this is the pueblo". People were hurting themselves singing around fire. "What they're doing is known as a ritual" Buffy was getting scared. Why are they hurting themselves, and all that blood. Damn, I left my soma!! "Wh. what if they see us?" She whispered. Riley was just too scared to say anything. The guide, as usual, ignored her and continued talking. They walked a bit more until they got to the smallest house they had seen in the pueblo. "This is The House. They say that a woman was left pregnant in Utopia and abandoned here. She died but her son still lives here. And with this our visit is over, we better return before it turns dark. If you have any questions you ask" Buffy was about to ask something but Eddy continued. "Great, my name is Eddy and I'm glad I was able to help you" She stared at the house for a few minutes, it was so dirty. and small. when suddenly a man came out. He was tall, very handsome, well build up body and kind of dark. She got a strange feeling staring at that man. He walked towards Eddy, Riley and her and he stopped and just admired her. She had forgotten how to talk; she was just breathless. When she was about to introduce herself, Riley shouted. "Savage stay away from her!"
The mysterious man looked hurt and turned around to return to his shelter. "Wait," she said following him, leaving a very shocked Riley. "Who are you?" She said, again staring at how handsome he was. She didn't even care he was a savage, she didn't even think about having sex with him. She just wanted to get to know him. See, I'm a total weirdo, she thought, But this feeling is so strange, what am I feeling? He gave her a very sexy and shy half smile. "Angel". She smiled back. "Weird name, I like it, I'm Buffy. Say it after me. Bu - ffy" She thought he wouldn't understand, he was a savage after all, but he just smiled again and looked at her like she was insane and when he was about to answer, Riley approached Buffy and took her away. Angel wanted to reach her, but it was not his place to do so, maybe she was married, and Buffy wanted to hit Riley and go back to Angel, but she couldn't. After all he was a savage and she was an Alpha. It was wrong. They belonged to different worlds.
She glanced back again, gave him a sad smile and looked at a very angry Riley. "I can't believe you talked to a savage. Are you completely out of your mind? He is dirty and remember, cleanliness is next to." Buffy continued this typical continued phrase and said. "Cleanliness is next to Fordliness. I know, you don't have to tell me Ri," She said, mocking. He hated it when he was called Ri. But he ignored it and dropped the topic. He didn't care about Buffy; she was just another women. He was just worried of what could have happened to him if that conversation had continued with the savage.
Back in Los Angeles, Utopia
Buffy and Riley departed in different ways. Riley, as it was normal, wanted sex after the date, but Buffy turned him down. She couldn't keep Angel out of her mind. As she thought of him, she unconsciously smiled and had an idea to be able to see him again. and most importantly, to be able to bring him to Los Angeles.
